Children's author J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final installment of her bestselling Harry Potter series, but was careful not to say who.

Children and adults are expected to rush and buy the final Harry Potter novel in their tens of millions when it is complete, and if the publication of the sixth book is anything to go by, secrecy surrounding the plot will be tight.

I've heard this too. And I bet you anything that it's going to be Harry and Voldemort. Having Harry kill Voldemort and everyone live happily ever after would be waaayyyy to much of a cliche ending for her. But I don't think she would have Voldemort flat out win either - evil never completely wins. So they'll both die in my opinion - Harry might even be a horcrux.... so he would HAVE to die for Voldemort to die.

Or, if Harry doesn't die, I'm sure that one of the trio will. Just because J.K. seems to enjoy killing off everyone that is close to Harry...

my first guess would be Voldemort. Duh. But, I have this theory that, in order for him to kill Voldemort, Harry HAS to die. It's to do with Harry's scar and Horcruxes. So I'm pretty sure he's got to go.

But then, I also think that Draco is gonna switch sides and die fighting for the good side. But i'm just an idealist like that

i think if she's going to kill 2 people off, its going to be people whose death will have a big effect on the readers...i just think Draco is too minor of a character for the majority of the people to be too upset about.

no, i think Ron is going to die. you know, Harry will have to give up the only good thing he's ever had to save the world from evil and all that jazz. and then Voldemort will die too. but i guess we wont know until July 7, 2007...

I dunno, I think there are very good clues in the series that indicate Harry being a Horcrux. And besides, it's not like Dumbledor can find out now. And he did say that they can be put in a human. I still like my theory. Plus, I think it would be a good way to end the series. Think about it, Harry has to kill what was once a human. He might not want to live after it all goes down, and sacrifice himself to save everyone.

And whadaya mean, Moonlit? After the sixth book, I don't think Draco can be seen as such a minor character anymore. And quite a few people would be upset if he died. Like me. I think he has a bigger part to play in this whole thing.
